Nightmare Light

Chapter 160 The Correct Use of the Samurai Statue
A day later, Lin Wang woke up at home.

After laying a soft and comfortable mattress on the hard rock bed, the comfort level has increased a lot, and it even made Lin Wang feel at one point that he seemed to have returned to his life before the time travel.

Although every time he lay in bed and was about to fall asleep, he always felt a little uncomfortable...

But Lin Wang felt that this was because he was still not used to this stone room, and the height difference between the northerners and him was indeed a bit large...

Fortunately, Lin Wang's appearance looks more like a tall and handsome urban young man, rather than a tall and rough big man, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable...

Lin Wang reached out and pressed the stone bedside table beside the bed and sat up.

The cold touch on his hands gradually brought him back to consciousness.

After washing up, he sat in front of the computer, selected the parts that could be said about what happened in Lushan, wrote a report, and sent it to the newspaper and the Public Security Bureau respectively.

Although, Lushan had just given him an astonishing fortune, if he squandered it, it would be enough for him to live a retired life from then on.

But in Lin Wang's concept, a happy and decent life and human dignity are all earned through one's own work.

To put it in layman's terms, it means that you can spend the money you earn through your own labor with peace of mind.

After writing the report, he also made a special note below: This involves royal privacy, please use it with caution.

Less than a minute after sending the message, a message popped up on Lin Wang’s phone.

[Intelligence received. Thank you for your hard work. Please come to the Public Security Bureau today. We need to discuss the details of the case in person. - Jiang]

The pair of slightly tired eyes appeared in Lin Wang’s mind.

You should go to the police station.

but not now.

"Now, there are more important things to do."

Lin Wang thought about it and took out a pen and paper.

He wrote a few lines on the paper:
The power within me—divine power?
Why did the gods leave behind these powers?
What is His purpose?
Can I use these powers safely?
Lin Wang stared at the lines of words, his eyes gradually narrowing.

His mind gradually began to wander uncontrollably.

Countless weird movies and horror stories that I had ever seen began to flash through my mind.

These stories usually involve a daring and suicidal protagonist and an ambitious and evil monster or awakened evil god.

After obtaining the power of the evil god, the suicidal protagonist begins to use it recklessly and without restraint, causing the evil god to wake up early and eat the protagonist, or take over the protagonist's body, or even kill the protagonist...

Although, in stories like this, the evil gods are usually destroyed at the end, the unfortunate protagonist's fate is usually tragic...

Thinking slowly, Lin Wang let out a long sigh and shook his head: "This is reality, not a story."

"In reality, the evil god may not be destroyed in the end... I'm not the protagonist of the story."

His gaze lingered on those few lines of words, and after pondering for a moment, he made a very difficult decision: "Until you understand the source of your power, you cannot use it at will unless it is to save your life."

"During the next period of time, if anything happens, I will try my best to deal with it with the power of a burial master."

After making this decision, Lin Wang got up and went out.

"I'm going to the temple. I hope it can give me an answer..."

After going out, Lin Wang hailed a taxi.

After getting in the car, he said to the driver, "Let's go to the temple."

"Temple?" The driver was a little surprised. He glanced at Lin Wang in the rearview mirror and was surprised again. "My goodness, young man, your head is so high!"

Lin Wang was no longer surprised by people's surprise at his height. He nodded and said, "Yes, let's go to the temple. What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just that today..." the driver started the car and said, "Are you going to the temple to pray?"

"No, I'm looking for someone...what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The driver shook his head and the car started moving. "If you're looking for someone, have you called your friends?"

Lin frowned slightly and didn't continue to answer - he didn't like being questioned when he went out. Seeing that he didn't answer, the driver also fell silent.

After more than ten minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of the temple.

Lin Wang got out of the car and walked into the temple.

After passing through the temple wall, Lin Wang walked up the stairs and discovered a strange phenomenon - at first glance, there was almost no one in the temple.

How is this going? !
Lin Wang's heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously wanted to summon white fire, but then he remembered the decision he had just made: try not to use powers of unknown origin - so, white fire, tree fern branches and vines are all powers that cannot be used.

He wanted to summon the Night Wanderer again, but Lin Wang changed his mind: Summoning the power of burial in front of the gods didn't seem right...

Forget it, let’s use local materials.

Lin Wang looked around and saw that the stone slabs on the temple floor were a bit too thick and too long. Even if he could pick them off, they would not be particularly easy to hold in his hands.

When he looked up, he saw a statue of a temple warrior as tall as a man in the middle of the temple steps. He was wearing metal armor and holding a hammer and staff, looking very majestic.

Lin Wang's eyes lit up and he walked to the warrior statue.

He stretched out his hand and gestured in front of the hammer, feeling that it was too short and too light.

Lin Wang shook his head and decided to go all out. He reached out and grabbed the warrior's leg, bulging the muscles in his hands and exerting force - breaking it!

With a snap, he broke off the temple warrior statue and held it in his hand by its leg.

Lin Wang waved the warrior statue in the air a few times, and the heavy wind pressure made a humming sound.

He nodded with satisfaction: "Although it's still a little light, at least it can be used."

He carried the warrior statue on his shoulders and walked towards the temple.

As he walked up the stairs, Lin Wang suddenly heard several footsteps coming from the temple!
The footsteps were not loud, but in the silent temple, they were clearly audible, like thunder.

At the same time, Lin Wang saw a figure wearing a divine robe flash by from the depths of the temple!
Run away when you see me?!

Sure enough there is a problem!
"Don't run!" Lin Wang shouted, striding towards the figure. At the same time, he summoned the white cat, "Help me catch that guy! Catch him alive!"

"Meow knows!"

The cat girl cried out in a cheerful tone: "Mouse, don't run!" At the same time, she kicked the ground with all four limbs and rushed out like a shadow. Even with Lin Wang's current strength, he could only barely see her figure and had no hope of catching up with her.

He took big strides and ran quickly, following the cat girl.

By the time he rushed into the temple, the cat girl had already caught the figure.

At this moment, she was squatting on all fours next to the figure, raising her hand and wiping her face with her sleeve.

And in front of her, on the ground, was a young man wearing a temple robe and with the temple seal tattooed on his face - judging from the depth of the seal, he must be a genuine priest.

"Don't... don't hurt me! This is Mother's temple! Do you really want to commit violence against a pious priest under Mother's gaze?!"

The young man screamed in horror.

"Don't be afraid. Answer me a few questions and we won't hurt you."

Lin Wang said, walking up to him and speaking in the gentlest tone possible.

"Okay, go ahead and ask... Uh, are you Mr. Lin Wang? The one from the north?" At this time, the young priest saw Lin Wang's facial features clearly. He was stunned at first, then he let out a long sigh, "I was scared to death just now... I thought some evil demon was attacking the temple."

"Is it really that serious? Am I that scary?" Lin Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are a dignified temple priest after all. How can you be so scared?"

"You can't blame me for this!" The priest said with a wronged look on his face, pointing at Lin Wang's shoulder. "With someone like you, who wouldn't run away if they saw you?"

Lin Wang turned his head and saw the statue of the temple warrior on his shoulder.

The two of them combined together, casting a hideous and strange shadow on the ground.

"Well... it's a bit scary."
